Recent publication sees Dr Owen Jeffries (thermal physiologist) collaborate with Dr Stephen Blenkinsop (climate scientist) from the School of Engineering to address a recent call in the Journal of Applied Physiology regarding better alignment between the disciplines to answer the wider questions facing us as a result of a changing climate.
In this viewpoint article we discuss the need for wider collaboration to understand heat-health risks nationally, regionally, and at the local level to provide more policy-relevant extreme heat scenarios for the benefit of public health.
This work is part of a small exploratory project funded by the Wellcome Trust Institutional Strategic Support Fund.
